No Bail for Doctor Facing Porn Charges

The investigation began in April when Microsoft alerted the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that someone with a Microsoft Outlook email address and the user name Robert Dickey uploaded about 14 images of child pornography, authorities said.

“Dr. Dickey was entrusted to care for the well-being of children, but he instead chose to collect images of their sexual exploitation,” said U.S. Attorney Ronald Machen.

Dickey faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine at sentencing in December. He will be required to register as a sex offender for 15 years after his release from prison.
